 Top 7 countries where you can take a puff without consequences! (Disclaimer: Illegal possession of marijuana isn't cool bruh) Smoking weed is completely fine in some countries whereas, in others, it is an activity that is highly frowned upon.  Well, that aside, here is a list of the top seven countries where smoking this leaf of happiness won't have you in a mess. 7.Mexico  As the law prescribed in 2018, Marijuana possession was criminalized. This was nothing new to Mexicans, where Cannabis had been illegal since 1920. In 2009, personal possession of this substance was decriminalized. However, medical usage of this substance was legal since 2017.  What may come as a relief for marijuana lovers in Mexico is that, in March 2021, a bill has been passed legalizing recreational marijuana, which was expected to go before the Senate by April 30, 2021. If the Bill gets passed, then Marijuana usage for recreational purposes will be completely legal. 6.Jamaica In Jamaica, pos...

Can minors date in India?

 Can minors date in India?

minors , date , relationship , crush


Suffice to say, this question needs to be addressed with all urgency. Can two minors indulge in a consensual sexual relationship with each other?


Most sources say that consent of a minor for sexual intercourse cannot be considered legal consent in any way. We also need to note the fact that a minor/child in India refers to anyone below 18 years of age. This means that the age of consent-the legal age at which a person can give consent for sexual relationships is 18. This is relatively high in comparison to other countries of the world. The age of consent in the United Kingdom is 16, while the age of consent in The Philippines was until 2020, a surprising 12!


While some countries like India and the US have high age of consent, countries like The Philippines have low age of consent, thus, the mean age of consent is challenged by extreme values.


Snapping back to the topic, it is illegal for minors to indulge in any form of sexual relationship in India. Although this hasn’t stopped high school relationships from happening. It is all fun and games until sexual activities are involved.

Well, now we know that this is criminalized, but what is the punishment?


We can see that sex with a minor girl amounts to rape, irrespective of consent, this can lead to imprisonment for up to 7 years.

The age of consent is still a long-debated topic in India, with liberals pleading to decrease it, and conservatives trying to increase it.


There was once a suggestion by Madras High Court, in 2019, to exclude consensual sex with girls of 16 years and above from criminalization. This meant to remove or decriminalize consensual sex from the Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. 

This suggestion was welcomed by legal experts who advocated its utility. The Court also suggested that the Age of Consent be brought down to 16 from the previous 18.

It is also noted that minor girls use their woman-card to frame their minor-male counterparts into the crime of sexual misconduct, even if it were done with complete consent from both parties.


The Indian society tends to side with the girl in such circumstances, thus strongly opposing the boy, this is an unfortunate reality in India today.

Laws must be uniform and not one-sided. Gender equality refers to equality of the genders and not the domination of females.


The POCSO Act is currently inclined or partial to females and tends to put males into a state of criminalization. Consensual sexual activity between teens aged 16 and above must be made a norm. This is because modern technology has facilitated more knowledge about sex and has leveraged quicker maturity among modern teens. Thus it is recommended that the Age of Consent be brought down to an appropriate 16 from the present 18.


What are your thoughts on this? Should the Age of Consent be brought down or kept where it is? Comment down below.

BLM Protestors Taste Justice

BLM Protestors Taste Justice Good news for the BLM Protestors. Former Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin was convicted on Tuesday of murder and manslaughter for pinning George Floyd to the pavement with his knee. He has been found guilty on 3 counts of manslaughter and murder and could be sent to prison for decades. Floyd, 46, died on May 25 2020 after being arrested on suspicion of using a fake 20$ bill to pay for a pack of cigarettes at a corner shop. He was scared, pleaded that he was claustrophobic and struggled with police when they tried to put him in a squad car. They pinned him to the ground instead. The main evidence of the case was the excruciating bystander video of Floyd gasping repeatedly, “I can’t breathe” and bystanders yelling at Chauvin to stop what he was doing as the officer pressed his knee on or near Floyd’s neck for what authorities say was 9 and a half minutes. Life slowly started ebbing away from Floyd as he went limp and silent. Doctors and medical experts for t...

The Story of a Heartbreak!

  THE BREAKUP STORY So you’re over there hurting…deeply.  You miss your last relationship.  You miss the company.  You miss the expectation that you have plans.  And you especially miss having someone to talk to and say good night to.  But then there are those days (or moments) where you suddenly have this confidence that you’re so much better off without them.  Or how you held your breath a lot just to avoid rocking the boat, so to speak.  Or how a lot of your needs were NOT met despite being with them for so long. So the question is Were you just in a relationship, or were you in a conscious relationship? This is the million-dollar question. So what exactly is a “conscious” relationship? For me, being in a conscious relationship means that both of them in a relationship are doing the inner work to heal & are coming together through willingness and choosing each other every single day.  Well, what’s the difference between a conscious re...
